Check out my new messenger bag! I couldn't wait to get started making something out of the leather trench I bought and managed to whip this up in record time.

Leather Jacket Refashion
I thrifted this jacket awhile ago and wore it once or twice. Would have worn it more if it wasn't for the fact that the sleeves are too short for me, a lot shorter than they look in this picture. So I decided to pull out my seam ripper and remove the sleeves. All it took was a quick finishing on the sleeves and lining and I had a new leather vest.
Quick and fairly easy project for a perfect cool weather vest.

Diy Stitchwork Clutch
Found this perforated leather clutch for a $2 while thrifting and thought it would make a great project, all it took was some gold acrylic paint and black crochet thread. First I painted the clutch gold with a couple of coats and let it dry overnight. Then I threaded a large needle with black crochet thread and just went in and out of the holes. I did the flap horizontally and the rest of the clutch vertically to add some contrast.

I would be lying if I said this was a quick project... I saved the stitchwork to do while watching TV so it didn't actually feel like forever even though it did take a couple of hours. All in all I'm really happy how the clutch turned out and personally I think not only does it look better but it no longer looks cheap.

Diy Bra Straps
Recently I broke a strap on one of my front close bras. Instead of getting rid of the bra I decided to update it. Got rid of the back strap and used some buttonhole elastic for a unique effect. Now I have an interesting bra to wear with all my transparent tops or any backless pieces of clothing.

My new diy necklace made out of scraps of fabric and old wooden drapery rings.
